# Activate Your Computer

Activating your computer with <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is a one-time operation. After activation, <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> will start-up automatically each time you sign in to your computer and map your network drives.

Activation may not be necessary if your organisation has already pre-activated your device. So skip this section and don't proceed with the steps below, unless your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> administrator has requested you to do so.

To activate your computer you will need 3 things from your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> administrator:

1. Your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code>/Microsoft 365 username
2. Your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> activation code
3. A link to download <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> to your computer. If you haven't been provided a link, you can [download the latest version from here](/resources/download.md)

After you have downloaded <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> to your computer continue with these steps to activate it:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Locate the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> executable you have downloaded and double click `zeedrive.exe` to launch the wizard. Click the Next button

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If you need to authenticate with Microsoft 365 then the screen will show below. If your organisation users single sign-on or your computer is Entra ID joined then you won't need to authenticate. To authenticate, click the blue "authenticate with Office 365" link. A dialog will pop-up for your to authenticate with Microsoft 365

{% endstep %}

{% step %} <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is now ready to activate. Click the Activate button. After successful activation, <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> will start-up automatically and map the network drives your organisation has configured

<figure><img src="/files/v4kTCuWhmEnAvIZFAOSQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
During activation, you may see a pop-up notification in your Windows system tray

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
After successful activation, you will find the blue <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> "Z" icon in your Windows system tray. Click the Z icon to check your subscription status

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> Client Console will then pop-open. You will see a message like this if <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> has activated and started up successfully. Click the X button in the top right of the window to close it

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If you now open Windows File Explorer, you should find the network drives available that your organisation has configured for you. In the example below, two drives have been mapped by my organisation where I can find my files. The drives you see will be dependent upon your particular organisation
